I just had to see the sights again. I walked for a long time along the Thames, remembering the last time I was here and the feelings I had seeing it all for the first time. For an hour I stood on Westminster Bridge and just stared at Big Ben and the Parliament. I let my thoughts flow freely. I watched people. I felt at ease standing there and letting the world pass me by for once.
It had been a crazy year for me. I had worked my ass off, getting everything done for uni and this was a reward for me. Time off. Time I so often missed during semester. I didn´t even had time to feel sad after my boyfriend dumped me. I just didn´t have the time. I had such a busy, crazy schedule that I postponed the chocolate eating and romantic movie watching sessions till later until I didn´t need to have it anymore. This is also a very nice way of coping with break-ups, though I admit that it was not intended. Fact is that there were some things that had to be done, papers that had a deadline, presentations that needed to be ready by a specific date, things I had to sort out in order to be ready to plan my next step. I was too busy to cry over the loss of him and in the end I realized that that was alright in a way.
As I turned to look at London Eye, I felt strangely calm. Even though there were a lot of people rushing by me, even though I heard a lot of different languages around me, I felt peaceful on the inside. This is where I should be, I thought to myself. I have always been a sucker for fate and signs and I guess that it is a good sign if you stand on a busy bridge and the only thing you feel is peace. You could feel hastened, hurried, unsteady, you could shiver from the cold wind, you could feel a migraine coming on, you could even feel claustrophobic by all the people around that were so busy taking pictures of themselves and Big Ben that they didn´t even notice that the blocked the whole street. Indeed, you could feel many things, but who´d say that he felt tranquil in that scenario?
Startled by a police car rushing by with its siren on, I continued to cross the bridge and walked past Big Ben. I walked with a slow pace, enjoying the rush of the people around me without rushing myself. As a big city girl, I avoided crashing into people by sliding through the mass, always managing to find a gap in the crowd. My sister and I used to play a game where we had to get through a crowd to a specific point. Whoever got there first won. Which was usually me, because I just have a talent of finding my way, let that be through masses of people, in the countryside without a map or on my way home, totally wasted. I´d always find a way to my destination. My sister used to say that the fact that I could find my way at anytime was a sign in itself. This was when I started believing in signs. I knew that my talent of always knowing where to go would someday lead me to the perfect place – and to the perfect man.
At the crossroads, I felt the urge to turn right, so I headed into the direction of Trafalgar Square. Once there, I shopped for a sandwich, something to drink and a bag of chips at Tesco´s and then tried to find a place at Trafalgar Square to sit and eat. I couldn´t find any other place to sit but on the stairs leading to the National Gallery.
While the sun was warming my face that did feel a bit cold after the chilly wind on Westminster Bridge, I ate my sandwich and looked around. The world around me was a loud, cheerful place with so many people around that I sometimes forgot to eat my sandwich, because I was people watching. I love people watching. I think that you can learn a lot about humans when you just sit and watch them for a while. I always believed to have a good sense about people and what they were up to. My friends usually introduced me to their new partners just to see what my opinion was about them, because I was usually right with my initial impression. I just knew that Marc wasn´t the commitment type and that he would name that as the reason to dump Kelly, which he did after only three months. I felt somehow estranged by Spencer´s new girlfriend, because she simply refused to give any satisfying answers to my question. It really was a shame that Spencer had waited six month to introduce her to me, because I knew for sure that she had another guy. Spencer saw them just last week together at an Italian restaurant. And that guy next to her surely wasn´t her brother, if you know what I mean.
I had just finished eating my chicken sandwich and was getting the bag of chips out of the Tesco´s bag, as a little girl raced down the stairs and hurried past me squealing happily. She attempted to chase the pigeons and as they flew off she just raised her arms to heaven and laughed loudly. I was just entwined by her cheerfulness and the pleasure she took out of a simple thing such as bird chasing.
As I watched her run after another pigeon I noticed that a guy across from me was watching her as well, a smile on his lips. He had a half eaten sandwich in one hand and a coffee cup in the other and was just looking at the little girl and her bouncing fair curls as she ran around in absolute contentment. He watched her for a while and then seemed to remember that he was holding a sandwich. As he continued eating, I continued watching him.
I instantly liked his style. He was wearing light grey pants and a grey shirt with a black blazer. I always fancy guys that wear blazers on a regular day and not just to a wedding reception or for meeting the parents (and complained about having to wear a blazer all the time). His hair was a bit long, but not too long. I wanted to go through his hair with my hands, I thought, watching him put the coffee down and pushing his hair back with his now free hand. I just adored his hands. I love a man with long finger, like the finger of a piano player. Short, stubby fingers are an absolute turn-off for me. I couldn´t date a men whose hands weren´t elegant, but short and (oh my god) dirty. Worst case scenario, really. I don´t mind a man with chest hair, I don´t mind a bold man or one with flowing hair, I don´t mind a not totally trained man, I don´t mind dating someone with a scar or with a whole in his jeans, but I literally can´t date guys with ugly hands.
Yet he seemed to be the whole package. I could see that chest hair I am so crazy about through the open buttons of his long sleeve shirt, as he got up to take off his blazer, probably because he was getting warm sitting in the sun. The reasons why I got warm were of a totally different origin altogether. I felt connected to him. As to hide my constant staring, I rumbled in my purse and found my sunglasses. As I put them on and looked at him again, he got up and walked closer to me. My glance followed him eagerly, but he only got up to throw his empty coffee cup and the plastic wrapping of the sandwich in the trash can. As he disposed himself of the trash, he turned to look at me and a frown appeared on his face.
Instantly, I corrected my posture, sat up straight and closed my mouth, trying to look as casual as possible. He lifted his hand again and pushed back his hair and then turned to walk back to his seat. As he got there, he took his sunglasses out of the pocket of his blazer. Putting them on, he turned to look in my direction again and I imagined to be feeling his stare on me. How thrilling it was to have him look at me. He must be watching at me. He must be checking me out. He must have felt the same. I knew it was a sign that I felt the urge to turn right at the crossroads. Why would fate have me choose this direction, if not to find my true love?
Under his constant glare, I straightened my hair that the wind had blown in my face. I put the sunglasses away and as I got up to go the trash can myself, I felt him looking at me. I knew it! I so knew it. I just have great people skills. I always know what people are up to. I can rely on the initial feeling I have about people.
With the best possible sway I could manage I walked to the fountain at Trafalgar Square and spun around to look at him. He had turned his head into my direction. I could feel a tickling all through my body as he got up and walked over to me with long strides. Standing before me, he took his glasses off and then started talking to me.

I am an easy to please guy... if you look my other postings you will see it's hard to find complaints on them.... I am afraid, not at this time.
Everything went wrong here:
- To start, the hotel had several cars parked using guest spaces. You couldn't even find a way to get to their parking lot - it took me a while to finally be able to get to their garage entrance.
- Then it came the check-in.... I was very clear to my travel agent: I am looking for either 2 connecting rooms or at least close enough on the same floor.... And I got confirmation in written that it would be provided and they have communicated to the hotel. Guess what? the hotel didn't have it arranged... they said they were not aware and blamed the travel agency (quite reputable one)....the best they were able to do then is to accommodate us in the same floor but in the totally opposite side each room.
- The rude guy checking us in said that they would need to charge me full in advance... I went to a dispute and finally agree to have just the first night charged (awkward isn't it ? never got to a hotel that charges in advance before your stay).
- Then, I asked for help with my bags.... I tipped the guy quite well and asked if he could at least check if we could get closer rooms even if in the upcoming nights. That person said he would check it with reception straight away and would call me.... I kept waiting and after 15min decided to get downstairs.... Guess what, that person never even chatted with the reception....
- Finally, upon realizing they really didn't care about my needs, not even bother to be polite and collaborative as they should, I told the guy I am not planning to stay longer... Their answer ? Fine, do whatever you want.
- So, I called another hotel nearby that I have stayed before and I explained to them what was happening. The reception at that other hotel asked me to wait and in 30sec I was talking to her manager. He said, they felt bad to know how poor their competitors were doing and he would be glad to have me and my family with them. He asked me how much I was paying and despite their regular tariff being higher than Harbor, they would honor it.
- One final issue (at least until now... it's night and I am at this hotel trying to sleep)... I went out with family for diner and they are so archaic here that they still use keys that you need to leave in the reception when you go out... It took me 3min to get someone to retrieve my keys... Why ??? oh... the guy was too busy smoking in front of the hotel.
Bottomline from my end: Harbor Batel lost a total of 2 rooms x 8 nights in profits... With no apologies, no trying to work around... It tell's you something about how much they care about their guests. I hope you see this note and think twice before booking... I am sure their losses will further multiply as the voice of customer get's out!!!

My friends an I had the most amazing girl's getaway at this wonderful little spot. I can't emphasize enough how interesting, cool, and eclectic this space is. Deb has left her artist's fingerprint everywhere you look. The space easily accommodated all 6 of us since we doubled-up on beds, and we were able to cook breakfasts, hangout, and play records! In addition, Deb was kind and helpful and really made us feel welcome. It was perfect, and I cannot thank Deb enough!Nichole2016-03-20T00:00:00Z
Very friendly host and super nice location near state park. The house is artistic, creative, and cozy. Highly recommended!Jiqiao2016-01-18T00:00:00Z
We had a fabulous time at the house - it was quaint, and furnished beautifully. Deb was really friendly and helpful with recommendations. The area was wonderful and close to nature. A great spot for hikers! I'll be back again.Ian2016-06-26T00:00:00Z
Deb's place is cozy, with lots of sleeping space for friends to get together and reconnect.Melissa2016-11-11T00:00:00Z
Deb's place was absolutely amazing for our girl's ski weekend!!! We had 7 girls there, slept comfortably and absolutely loved laughing all night in the record room!! It felt like our girl's fort. The attention to detail how Deb decorated is absolutely stunning- throughout the evening we noticed more and more! It was super easy to get into the place and Deb answered any questions we needed right away. It was also the perfect location to ski Mountain Creek, only 15 mins away! We loved the place and will be back!Katie2017-01-16T00:00:00Z
Charming, funky, fun. We had a great (and very brief) stay at Painter Deb's. Dinner at Chateau Hathorn was lovely. (Weds and Thurs special 4-course dinner with wine was a great deal!)Nancy2017-05-19T00:00:00Z
Very unique decor and very comfortable place to stay. Debra was a very accommodating host. Easy, short drive to downtown Warwick. Property is very close to main road but the rooms face the back so you don't really hear traffic. Lots of space. Two bedrooms to choose from if you are a couple. Bathroom is good. Kitchen as well. A bit of noise from downstairs but not too bad. Would certainly go back, but we aren't big air bnb people, so if we don't it's not because of our experience. Highly recommended as weekend getaway spot.Carter2017-01-07T00:00:00Z
Overall, okay stay. Couple of problems: 1. Kitchen has unclean a bit unclean with greasy plates from the previous tenants and others. Left us feeling icky and we had to rewash all of the dishes before using the kitchen. 2. There were 2 dogs that barked intermittently throughout the night, making it a bit difficult to sleep at night. 3. The use of heating was a perpetual issue. Right from the outset, we were told the previous tenants cranked up the heat, so were told not to put the thermostat above 70 degrees. Also, when we opened a window because one of my friends was experiencing a mildly severe allergic reaction (from the dust or some other thing), we were messaged to close the window). I understand the cost of heating was high, but I valued my friend's health more. Good aspects: 1. The location was great in order to avoid the NYE rush at Times Square in NYC. 2. Some great hiking locations, although we got lost. 3. Good bathroom hygiene, although having the bathroom in the master bedroom made it a little awkward for everyone to use.Jason2017-01-02T00:00:00Z

Kevin and Mindy were great hosts. We enjoyed our stay at their place and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, convenient and spacious place near the Bear mountain and Woodbury area. They gave us the right balance of privacy and help when needed.Tenzin2017-04-30T00:00:00Z
Kevin and Mindy were kind and welcoming hosts! They were kind about accommodating a quick change in travel dates, and we enjoyed a quiet stay in their spacious rooms.

Sergio was a great host! He let you treat his home as your own and gave you as much privacy/interaction as you desire. Just a tip finding Sergio's place was a little difficult to find at night because there is minimal lighting, but the area is very scenic and beautiful during the day. Would definitely go again when I want to get in touch with nature!Brandi2017-04-16T00:00:00Z
Sergio is incredibly sweet and attentive. The home is in a scenic and beautiful location in the mountains a couple blocks from the lake!Luis Felipe2017-04-18T00:00:00Z
Sergio was a great host who ensured I was at home and comfortable. The area is great for rest and relaxation. There's transportation into New York City just a short distance from the house.

David was very available and easy to contact - he even brought us some freshly ground coffee for the morning.

We felt safe and comfortable and really enjoyed our time.Erica2016-11-14T00:00:00Z

Lovely, clean, and convenient stay at David and Eleni's! This space was extremely well-kept and clean. Perfectly located downtown near shops and restaurants. 15 minute walk to Dia:Beacon and the train station. We'll be back! Thanks for the hospitality!Anna2016-02-14T00:00:00Z
My boyfriend and I had the most relaxing stay at David & Eleni's. The space is very private and serene. Hosts were so hospitable and their coffee was great! We took a trip upstate and this listing couldn't be more accommodating. Beacon is a lovely little town. It was so fun to explore and escape the city. Highly recommended ☺Sarah Beth2015-07-23T00:00:00Z
Eleni and David's charming space was such a pleasure to stay in during our time in Beacon. They made things easy, and we enjoyed the convenience and simplicity of it all. They were very kind hosts and we can't wait to stay there again sometime!Maggie2015-08-12T00:00:00Z
Eleni and David made us feel very welcome; we even saw them around town, and they were very friendly, which definitely earns some "authentic small town experience" bonus points :) We very much enjoyed our stay; thanks!Danny & Kim2015-10-12T00:00:00Z

I came up here with my boyfriend for a nice getaway trip to see the Dia Beacon, and it was a great place to stay! Everything looks exactly like it does in the pictures --- beautiful, colorful, clean, and cozy. All basic amenities were provided, and we were a block away from Liberty St., where Andrew & Kat recommended some nice restaurants to check out. We went to Ms. Fairfax, which had GREAT food (highly recommended). It was very easy to get to their place, we easily parked on the road, and felt very safe. Overall, the stay was lovely -- huge comfortable king bed, great bathroom, space for lounging and eating, and coffee / tea / half & half provided with ample kitchen space. Definitely a great place for two for a getaway trip or for four. They were also very informative, giving good suggestions and also noting to avoid going further out of this area of town, as it starts to get a bit run down. But we felt perfectly safe and cozy, and it was only minutes away from the Dia Beacon, over the bridge. Thank you Andrew & Kat for your hospitality!Michelle2017-05-20T00:00:00Z
The apartment is beautiful- full of period details and nicely decorated and fully stocked. The yard is gorgeous as is the view of the river and the Washington memorial. We were very happy with our stay!Erin2017-05-21T00:00:00Z

The physical house and it's location amongst the trees is stunning. Just what we needed on our escape from the claustrophobic city. Lauren and Todd are excellent hosts: accommodating, helpful, and super sweet. Short, easy drive from Beacon, where we spent the day. Todd gave us local must-sees and overall enhanced our trip so much. I highly recommend this place!Phoebe2017-05-23T00:00:00Z

My husband, 3 year old son and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The loft is spacious, clean and beautiful, with lovely views of Main Street and the train, which our son loved in particular! We were able to park our rental car out front without any problems, and explored the Hudson Valley happily. Alex is a very responsive and reliable host, check in and out was smooth and efficient. Cold Spring is beautiful in any season, we highly recommend this loft to anyone looking for a comfortable stay in town!Jannine2016-08-30T00:00:00Z
I cannot recommend this place enough. We were super close to the train station and right on Main Street, which meant we could fill up our bellies up on Mimosas for brunch and literally roll home, as well as get our fill of shopping without having to travel very far at all! Alex was an amazing host, very attentive, gave us a quick tour when we arrived of the apartment and helped us organize our hiking route which was very sweet. Thank you for being so wonderful - we hope to return very soon!Riann2017-02-13T00:00:00Z
My husband and I spent the weekend at Alex's beautiful apartment in Cold Spring. It's an ideal location -- within walking distance of the MetroNorth train station, near hiking paths, and right on Main Street with shops and restaurants. Alex was responsive and all of his communications with us were clear and well-detailed. We could not have asked for a better Airbnb experience. I highly recommend that you stay here if you're in the area!Annie2016-05-09T00:00:00Z
This was exactly the peaceful get away I was hoping for. The apartment is lovely, exactly as pictured, with a gorgeous view of the mountain and wonderful light. And B. Alex Miller is a perfect host. It was easy to get everything I needed around town without a car and the train station is just a few minutes walk away.Karen2015-03-20T00:00:00Z
Loved the apartment, very stylish. Warm and cosy has been used to describe it too and it's true but its also spacious and a lovely place to be in with everything you need, plus an interesting book collection. Though Alex was away during our stay we had no problems getting into the flat at all and Alex was quick to respond to queries and messages. We had a great time in the flat and Cold Spring - would definitely stay again.julian2016-12-31T00:00:00Z
The accommodations were perfect. Very clean and private. The location was great, right downtown within walking distance to everything. The river was just a short walk away. We were able to enjoy the Sunday concert at the river in the gazebo, an unexpected surprise. I highly recommend this rental for a getaway. We will return again someday.Sharon2016-08-10T00:00:00Z
The loft apartment was exactly as presented with clean modern lines and located in a spot within a few steps of multiple locally owned restaurants and antique stores. Also, just a few steps away from the river and the cold spring train station. The host was wonderful, ready with the keys, a ready loft, local advice, and then faded into the background to let us enjoy our stay.Andrew2015-10-11T00:00:00Z

Host made us feel very welcome and was a pleasure to chat with. The king size bed is very comfortable and the room is cozy. Thank you Frieda!Viktoriia2016-06-25T00:00:00Z
Frieda was a lovely host. We' enjoyed the welcome basket with chocolate croissants. The bedroom was very confortable with a large bed and AC. Frieda was always available to help. She lives in a nice neighborhood where we enjoyed running. I totally recommend this place !Marie2016-05-30T00:00:00Z
Frieda immediately made us feel welcome in her initial email reply to us. She gave us good directions and ran out to greet us when we arrived. Her home is in a peaceful residential neighborhood. She and and son helped us to carry our luggage to the room. The room was on the second floor and was large, bright, clean, beautifully decorated and well equipped with everything we needed. She had a beautiful basket prepared with snacks and soaps and a book with personal little introductions and information about their home and the area. Freida invited us to have refreshments and some visitors arrived. It was never ackward, we felt like family right away. Her ten year old son was friendly and polite and little Snoopy was a quiet, friendly pup. We had several times during our three day stay to have great conversations. We explored the area and found nice restaurants and had a relaxing time. We are seniors and not athletic so we didn't hike or bike ride but we went on a boat ride and to the local mall and saw a movie. It was a great get-away.Liz2016-06-28T00:00:00Z
Frieda was super welcoming and communicative. We felt like friends from the minute we met her! The room was really comfortable and clean with nice décor and lighting. The adjacent bathroom was fine and convenient. Instructions were clear and the neighborhood was quiet. We would come again if in the area!Lisa2016-11-06T00:00:00Z
Frieda could not have been more accommodating. Everything was exactly as described. The welcome basket she prepared was very thoughtful and appreciated. The detailed information binder she put together anticipated any question I could have and really showed me the care and consideration she has invested to make her guests feel right at home. I had a wonderful stay.Stephen2016-07-15T00:00:00Z
Frieda was easily accessible and very accommodating. Even though we were not able to meet Frieda on arrival, she made sure we were able to get in ok, and there was a massive welcome basket complete with pistachios! She has a comprehensive welcome binder that is endearing and helpful. There were fresh flowers in the room and kitchen, which adds a lovely touch! Best of all was the company!Laura2016-08-07T00:00:00Z

We loved it! So relaxing and peaceful. If you have a dog you can leave it unleashed on the beautiful soft green loan in front of the bungalows. Our bungalow was very nice, with all the essential tools in the kitchen and very nicely furnished. The bathroom is tiny but it works fine. We hope to go back soon!Michele2012-08-14T00:00:00Z
Melissa was a great host! She's very nice and her dog is super cute. The place was clean and as described, it had most everything you would need in the kitchen. If you need anything specific, I would email her and ask if it is available. Her communication was very detailed, helpful, and quick. The place is beautiful, nestled in the woods, near a beautiful pond. Great location!Joseph2014-09-29T00:00:00Z
My experience was great and better than I imagined. The bungalow was simple but clean and had plenty of amenities. The space was perfect for 2-4 people. We loved having access to our own fire pit, bbq, and hammock. I thought it was very nice that little extra things were already there for us to use like charcoal, lighter fluid and candles. It was a very peaceful weekend. Even with three other bungalows occupied nearby, all the guests were quiet and respectful. I would definitely return for another stay next season!Natalie2016-08-29T00:00:00Z

My daughter and I met at Tinroses to get away for a weekend together. Melissa was a wonderful and welcoming host. She met us when we arrived and made sure that we had everything that we might need. The nights were a bit cool and she came by to check that we had enough blankets. We enjoyed the peace and quiet, took walks and visited Storm King Art Center nearby. We loved the Bungalows. They are wonderfully decorated and the beds were very comfortable. It was a great place (especially the screened porch!) to relax, read, and enjoy each others company.Laura 2014-08-18T00:00:00Z

Teresa's house was amazing! The pictures and the description do not do it justice!! The house was clean, spacious and welcoming. Teresa was by far the best host. She communicated well and everything was exactly as she said it would be. She made all the beds ahead of time and even left out towels and robes for each guest. A gorgeous welcome basket was on the table when we arrived courtesy of our hosts. Additionally, they left out written instructions on how to take care of everything, food menus for nearby restaurants, and things to do around town. Once at the house, Teresa was available for all and any questions we had. The house was located close to the train and just a short drive to NYC. The movie theater in the basement was incredible and where we spent most of our time. Additionally, we left two items in the house and Teresa was fantastic about shipping them back to us! I can not wait to go back in the summer and take advantage of the pool next time.Jolie2017-01-01T00:00:00Z

The neighborhood is filled with greens and the house is right on the lake, you can see the lake from the living room. The picture does not do any justice of this cute little Cabin. All the bedroom are really clean and nice, and there is a Jacuzzi bathtub in the bathroom. Amazing ! The kitchen has everything we needed, and we found the setting of the house is very cozy, every one hang in the living room around the fireplace and play UNO. (Nice touch to have broad games !) Our over all experience is excellent. Would love to come back in the summer to enjoy the lake !Christina2015-10-18T00:00:00Z

Ashu's house was perfect for our family holiday get-together. It is very spacious with numerous living spaces which enabled us to spend time together and also spend time reading/working in separate spaces. It was very clean upon arrival and is fully equipped with various amenities. We ate out most of the time but the kitchen is fully equipped should you want to cook. Both Ashu and the property manager, Gail, were extremely responsive and helpful. We did have an issue with a relatively strong mothball odor in the master bedroom/nursery which apparently had lingered from some removed mothballs. This was the only thing that bothered us on the trip. Although they weren't able to resolve the issue, both Ashu and Gail were as helpful as they could be.Jenny2017-01-01T00:00:00Z
This was our first Airbnb experience but surely won't be our last. We are business travelers and seldom able to stay in one place more than a day or two but with all our business within 100 miles of this location and the comfort of this home, we where able to relax and enjoy living in a bit of luxury for five nights. Thank you Ashu and Airbnb for making this possible.Randy2016-10-18T00:00:00Z
The "welcome person" was very nice and friendly. Pictures of the house didn't go near enough to show off the size, and comfort of the house and didn't show all the rooms. It needs to.

A beautiful weekend in this magical place! Adeeb was incredibly helpful, was in touch to check we'd all settled in OK and on hand for any information we needed. The house and grounds were BEAUTIFUL - the perfect escape from the city - and the music room made for some wonderful moments. A++ for comfiness of beds. We'll be back in the summer for sure to take advantage of the beautiful outdoor space.Sophie2015-12-14T00:00:00Z
We had a great time during our stay at Adeeb's peaceful and secluded home. It provided a relaxing atmosphere for us in the evenings after our very exhausting but enjoyable 3 days at our son's WestPoint graduation. Unfortunately, we were not there long enough to explore the expansive property. The house was just the right size to accommodate our group. The place is definitely old but we were not looking for upscale and fancy and loved the character of the home. Adeeb is very warm and easy to work with.Linda2016-05-23T00:00:00Z
Adeeb & Paul are wonderful people/hosts, and their home is truly magical. We traveled from NYC (~1.5 hours) for my wife's 30th birthday with a group of 12 friends. The house & property couldn't have been more perfect for a weekend away from it all - to make music, cook, do yoga, and explore the great outdoors. We loved every minute of it. The home sleeps lots of people very comfortably, and the master bedroom is spectacular! A clawfoot bathtub in the bedroom is a really special feature, and it got plenty of use. We made use of the "music room" both nights to jam out and woke up for an early morning yoga session on our last day in the "yoga room". The kitchen was set up for communal cooking & hanging, which was perfect, as we cooked every meal collectively. We would LOVE to come back with another group (maybe next year?) and do it all again.Evan2014-11-24T00:00:00Z
A most wonderful and eclectic experience here! This home is for sure a wild and unique place. Definitely on the rustic side and with plenty, and I mean heeps of charm! Adeeb is also an amazing and attentive host. She really went out of her way for us! Only bummer were the showers as the water is pretty sulfuric and I would suggest bringing your own towels if you have a large group. Other than that, amazing!Michael2016-05-04T00:00:00Z
This was the perfect house for what our family needed. We had 14 people in all age-range categories. Adeeb and Paul were most accommodating in making this visit comfortable for all. I have an elderly mother who is unable to do stairs, and they made one of the rooms on the main floor into an extremely comfortable bedroom for her. Our family loved the spacious house, and all of the surrounding acreage. This is a perfect place to relax. There was no problem with having so many people in the house, there was plenty of space for everyone. We loved the kitchen table to sit around and talk as well as the piano room (that is the name we gave the room!) We took advantage of the beautiful weather to sit on the front porch, and even had a bonfire! Adeeb was really quick to respond to all my questions, and made sure we had everything we needed. They even set the beds up in the rooms according to who was sleeping in them. We were made to feel this was our home for the few days we were there.Denise2015-05-25T00:00:00Z
Although simple, the house has a lot of charm and is decorated with great taste and attention to small details. It is definitely better in person than in pictures. A great place to relax, cook, bbq and explore the region. Adeeb and her husband went to great length to make sure our stay was good, including buying a new BBQ. The only 2 issues we had were a wifi that was not working that week-end, although Adeeb called many times to try to fix it and the fact that there is AC in only 2 rooms (Which comes with the charm of the house) All in all, we have spent an amazing week-end. Thank you Adeeb!Yadh2016-05-31T00:00:00Z
We unfortunately had to cancel our reservation due to a power outage, but Adeeb was extremely understanding and we had no problem at all getting everything settled. I can't imagine it being any easier! I still plan on visiting the Peaceful Home one day.Jimmy2014-11-30T00:00:00Z

A quick printing project like this one can help demonstrate abstract concepts like fractions with clear concrete resources. Check out Fraction learning kit (Bruchrechen Lernmaterial) by tuempl. (And also Fraction learning kit with braille by knape.)
Kids can learn which fractions are equal, for example 2 1/8 are equal to 1/4 by stacking the 1/8 pieces on top of the 1/4 peace. The more advanced can add 1/4 and 1/8 by putting them onto the plate and counting the sections of the plate.
The most advanced calculation that can be done is something like 1/2+1/6=2/3 by putting the corresponding fractions onto the 3/3 plate.

Freelance Writer- Egypt

In May 31, a large crowd of people, who demand Istanbul's monumental Hagia Sophia to be turned into a mosque, gathered in front of it early before the Fajr Prayer. Anatolia Youth Association (AGD) called for this event and famous Saudi Sheikh Abdullah Basfar was the Imam. They all prayed outside the museum and after the prayer, they chanted slogans that said Hagia Sophia should turn into a mosque.
The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF), an independent, bipartisan federal advisory body that monitors the universal right to religious freedom globally, urged the Turkish Prime Minister to reject this demand and maintain Hagia Sofia's current status.
Also, According to a report by Deutsche Welle, German Chancellor, Angela Merkel during her meeting with Ecumenical Patriarch Vartholomeos, who was on an official trip to Germany, expressed her opposition over this plan.
Case against converting the museum to a mosque
Personally, I'm against this conversion. First of all, Istanbul is not short of mosques to need this museum. Any wanderer in Istanbul, will see a number of mosques in each and every neighborhood, and hear adhan coming from everywhere.
In addition, Turkey's main attraction/monument, the gigantic Blue Mosque, is only 3-minute walk from Hagia Sofia. So, no need for another mosque there!
On the other hand, in the very city of controversial Hagia Sofia, liquors are available in the overwhelming majority of the restaurants and cafes. The city is affluent with bars and night clubs. Women in the streets (who I guess most of which are tourists) wear very revealing clothes. Moreover, banners of "Erotic shops" are openly hung in the streets. One cannot see such things in main touristic majority-Muslim countries, like Egypt or Malaysia for example.
Turkey is full of Islamists and Sufis, but these manifestations show that Ataturk and his followers did great job eroding the Islamic expression in the fabric of the Turkish culture. This means that converting Hagia Sofia into a mosque is not the best way to revive the Islamic spirit in Turkey in general, or Istanbul in specific. I don't see it a way to do it at all. It will not serve Islam, or strengthen the da'wa, or even beautify the image of Muslims.
I know that Hagia Sofia is not just a place, but a sign. However, to be practical, I believe fixing what Ataturk has ruined is by working slowly and steadily on fixing the culture itself, not but taking such a trouble-making step.
I'm also concerned that in case the museum is successfully turned into a mosque, the same people will call for ruining the ancient monumental Christian mosaic, as it will permanently be a Muslim's territory. And this will create a viscous circle of nuisance to Turkey both internally and externally.
Personally, I can't feel comfortable praying in a place filled with such drawings that reflect a religious belief I disapprove of. But also, I'm against any future trial to ruin them, as I know for sure that Muslims in this city have more than enough mosques, freely practice Islam, and live in piece with Christians.
Comparing Hagia Sofia to Cordoba's mosque/cathedral
Some of those who call to convert Hagia Sofia, which was originally a Church for 1000 years, then a mosque after the Islamic conquest for 500 years, compare it to Cordoba's mosque that was converted to a cathedral after the fall of Andalucia.
Well, I have to say that both cases are different. What happened in Turkey was that Sultan Mehmed II took Hagia Sofia Church as a sign of control on the city, without causing any harm to Christians. While in Cordoba, it was pure Christianization of the city; a very strict one, as well as clear oppression for Muslims; that 4 years ago, when two Muslims tried to pray in the cathedral, they were arrested.
A local bishop, Demetrio Fernández, insisted that a ban on Muslim prayers must remain. More importantly, I'm against any religious group taking any warship place of other religion just because at that moment they are stronger. This is against the prophet's teachings.
Instead of imitating the Cordoba model, I prefer imitating Umar Ibn Al-Khattab's model; who after his victory in Jerusalem's conquest he didn't try to take the Church of Nativity. He even refused to pray there in order to prevent any future generation from doing so.
An out-of-the-box suggestion
Last month, Mustafa Akyol; a Turkish writer and journalist who describes himself as a classical liberal, has written in his column in Hurriyet Daily News about this controversy and suggested a unique suggestion to solve this issue.
He suggested converting Hagia Sofia into a worship place for both Muslims and Christians. He wrote " as a defender of religious freedom, and religious person myself, I am not a great fan of converting places of worship into museums.
Communist regimes used to do that, assuming that religion had to go into the trash bin of history. Admittedly, the Kemalist regime, which converted Hagia Sophia into a museum in 1935, was driven not only by such ideological secularism, but also concerns of international politics.Yet still, I am willing to rethink this old decision."
He went on explaining his suggestion, saying that not only Muslims but also Orthodox Christians yearn for a free Hagia Sophia in which they can worship their Lord, And that both religions, have a long history here: Hagia Sophia served Christians from 360 A.D., when it was built by the Byzantine Emperor Constantine II, to 1453, when Constantinople was conquered by the Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II.
The latter converted Hagia Sophia into a mosque, and it served Muslims for the next five centuries. He then articulated his suggestion that the upper level of Hagia Sofia can be dedicated to Christians on Sunday, for example, and the lower level for Muslims on Friday.
This situation is nothing new in the Islamic history; as in the early seventh century, the Grand Umayyad Mosque of Damascus was shared by Muslims and Christians.
Doing this in Turkey in the 21st century, will be a spectacular gesture, not just for the followers of both religions, but for the rest of the world. I know that this suggestion sounds weird, but it is worth trying, or at least discussing. What I liked most about this suggestion is that it's different and out of the box; it went further than answering that yes-or-no question "Should Hagia Sofia be converted to a mosque?

We often celebrate the anniversaries of our favorite horror films here on BD, but what about the entire genre at large? Did you know that 2016 marks the 120th anniversary of the very first horror movie? It was French filmmaker Georges Méliès who kicked things off with the silent short film The Haunted Castle, released in the winter of 1896. The rest, as they say, is history.
The folks over on YouTube channel Moon Film just sent along a supercut video that celebrates 120 years of the horror genre, shining the spotlight on 50 movies that are widely considered to be either influential, groundbreaking, or just plain the best of their kind. Classics like Nosferatu, Night of the Living Dead, and The Exorcist of course all made the cut, as did modern faves such as Saw, Let the Right One In, Paranormal Activity, and The Babadook.
As expected, there are countless films and even entire years left out (the video leaps from 1932's Vampyr to 1958's Horror of Dracula), but at just 2 1/2-minutes long, the video does provide a nice little overview of the genre's most important films between 1896 and 2016. The most recent movie featured is Don't Breathe, so it truly does begin at the beginning and end in the present.
Enjoy 120 Years of Horror Movies below.

Micro-Indentation Fracture Toughness Evaluation with a Novel Microscopy
Abstract:A novel microscopy is developed for evaluating the fracture toughness of thin ceramic sheets using the micro-indentation method. This microscopy overcomes the theoretical limit of measurement resolution associated with optical microscopes. Using a modified optical microscope, the crack lengths produced by micro-indentation on the surface of an as-fired ceramic sheet can now be measured. Experimental results on an 8 mol% yttria-stabilized zirconia ceramic substrate show that the accuracy of the fracture toughness evaluation is satisfactory. This micro-indentation fracture toughness evaluation method is efficient and economical for thin ceramic substrate surfaces, either polished or as-fired.

Due to the holidays, we're having December's meetup on the first Sunday.
Head for the 3rd floor of the Santa Monica Place Mall. Find Nordstrom's; next to that is Sonoma Wine Garden. Next to that are tables; look for the CMLA sign at ONE OF THE BOOTHS NEXT TO THE GLASS WALL THAT OVERLOOKS 2nd Street. Bring your current projects and sketchbooks, if you like, and let's talk shop, or just hang out! There are lots of places to obtain food and drink.
If the weather is not good, we will be at a table INSIDE THE MARKET building which is on the EAST part of the same floor next to the Redwood Grille.
IMPORTANT: When you RSVP "yes", email me your cell number so I can keep you posted as to exactly where we are. Beach weather is mercurial, especially at this time of year, and we may start at a booth outside, then decide to go inside, so we need to be in touch.
Parking in the Santa Monica Place Mall is free for the first 90 minutes, and you can enter it on Broadway on the north, Colorado on the south, and 2nd St. on the west.
See you there!! :)

A number of resources are available to Wave Optimizer users, free of charge.
"The Optimizer made us re-think how we should wave solder. We shouldn't blame the board design as often and we cannot rely on a thermal profiler to control our wave process."
– Martin Orozco, Process Engineer, TRW Automotive
"Your company walked in here and quickly showed my staff how to reduce defects that we've had to live with for a long time."
– Dennis Herrick, Director of Operations, Condor
"In all my years in PCB assembly, I have never seen such an enthusiastic response to a training program. Other vendors never really improved our problems like you have."
– Luis Velazquez, Engineering Manager, Plexus
"Many of our voids and insufficients were assumed to be design defects. Your training instructor used our Optimizer's measurements to make adjustments easily and now we should never see these defects in our production again. What a relief!"
– Enda Moran, manufacturing Manager, CEL
"I have worked with wave solder machines for years and can honestly say that this was the most informative and thorough class that I have attended on this subject.
– Dale Shedd, Process Engineer, Adtran
"Su instructor resolvió el problema de soldadura excesiva y los cortos ajustando nuestro proceso según los datos de nuestro Optimizador, y nos mostró la manera en que podemos hacer esto nosotros mismos".
Gary Wirth, Supervisor de producción, Honeywell
"Your wave soldering seminar gave us concrete methods and procedures completely different and beyond anything we've ever heard or seen from other vendors or 'experts'."
– Juan Guevara, SMT and Through Hole Manager, Alps Automotive
"Using the Optimizer's techniques every day on one board type, we saved 257 hours of touch up and rework per month. This saved our facility over $50,000 in 12 months on this one board type alone."
– John Lanferman, Process Characterization Group Leader, Celestica
"The proactive nature of your methodology, which allows us to identify board defects and production issues before they happen, is critical for raising yields."
– Luis Lopez, Operations Manager, Benchmark Electronics
"The Optimizer identified the root cause of chronic skipping on our boards. We eliminated the disparallelism it measured. This had an immediate, positive effect on board quality."

DETROIT, Jan. 15, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The simple act of giving a rose to another person is the idea behind one florist's attempt to reach out to others with hope and kindness. He has been making this gesture of good will for the past 13 years in Metro Detroit.
Wesley Berry, owner of Wesley Berry Flowers and FlowerDeliveryExpress.com has celebrated Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day by providing free roses in bunches of 1 dozen for the past 13 years. This year on Monday, January 20, Wesley Berry will be giving away 12,000 roses absolutely FREE to any adult who visits one of his Metro Detroit location between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. (or until the supply runs out).
This will be the 14th year of Wesley Berry Flowers sponsoring this event making the total number of roses given away over 168,000 in celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Birthday.
There is one catch however. Everyone who takes a dozen roses has to make a promise to keep one rose for themselves and give the others away to 11 different people. Wesley Berry hopes people will use this opportunity to become acquainted with new people or to renew old friendships. Like Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Wesley Berry has committed himself to creating harmony among people.
Over the years thousands of individuals have participated in this event. Many have returned year after year to participate in distributing the roses to others in their neighborhood. They are a family owned business that began 67 years ago with five stores in metro Detroit area.
